Claim	C021

Claim: No enterprise or government deployment has 'sycophancy reduction' as a stated requirement

BLUF: Plausible but impossible to prove universally. No evidence of sycophancy reduction as a stated procurement requirement was found in government RFP databases, procurement guidelines, or enterprise deployment documentation. Government AI procurement focuses on bias mitigation, data sovereignty, and fairness — not sycophancy specifically.

Probability: Likely (55-80%) | Confidence: Low
